Third Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[imissmydolphin]

Lucas had a giant bowl of popcorn and was sitting in front of the TV. There was a documentary on, but the remote control was out of reach, so if anyone grabbed it they could probably flick over to something else.

Katara hadn't done much of anything today but walk down to the water and play with it for a bit. So she wandered into the Common Room to try to find some more chocolate. Or hot chocolate. Both would be nice.

"Hi!" she said happily to the boy already there.

[imissmydolphin]

Lucas looked up from his popcorn, unknowingly clutching the popcorn bowl a little tighter. "Uh, hi," Lucas replied. "I'm Lucas."

[southernbender]

"I'm Katara," she replied. She noticed the clutching and worried. "I'm not interrupting you, am I? Just wanted to find some hot chocolate."

[imissmydolphin]

"No, not at all," he said hurriedly. "I think there might be hot chocolate under there." Lucas looked at the popcorn bowl, then back at Katara, and then offered it. "Popcorn?"

Turtle was feeling restless and running up and down the halls (not her own, of course, because, hey, she had to live with those people), and whizzed by the common room, stopped, and then backtracked, with exaggerated backwards walking gestures. She stopped, breathless, at the door. "People!" And then moved in and flopped on the couch with a deep exhale. "Whooo..." She fanned herself a little. Running up and down the halls could be exhausing.

[imissmydolphin]

"Been running a marathon?"

[stocksgrrl]

"Not quite," Turtle said with a huff of air, lifting a finger, but only getting it half-raised before dropping it back down lazily, "but close. These halls? A lot longer than they look."

[imissmydolphin]

"They seem like an obstacle course. Squirrel here, floormate gone crazy there."

Cassie wandered up a floor, because she could.

"What're we watching?"

[imissmydolphin]

"I wouldn't really call what we're doing 'watching' so much as 'having some background noise to fill in the uncomfortable silences in conversation'. But it's about penguins."

[robotboyfetish]

"Oooh, penguins," Cassie said. "I totally approve of penguins." She went and sat down, not far from where Lucas was. "Oh, hi, by the way. I'm Cassie."

[imissmydolphin]

"I'm Lucas. There's popcorn if you want some. It's not made of penguins. I feel like I have to assure people of things like that around here."

Pam was bored and restless, so she wandered until she found a common room with people in it. "Hey!"

[imissmydolphin]

Oh thank god, a sort of familiar face. "Hey," Lucas said, now feeling a little out of place surrounded by girls. His ego wasn't minding it at all. "Come and have some popcorn?"

[keds_champion]

"Sure," Pam said, taking a seat and reaching for a handful of popcorn. "What are we watching?"

[imissmydolphin]

"Something with penguins. Katara put it on."

Stark was feeling like attempting to be social again, so he'd gone in search of an occupied common room. And look, here was an occupied common room.

"Hello," he said to the room, and waved.

[imissmydolphin]

Lucas raised a hand to wave. "Hey. It's popcorn and penguin night." He may have been a little too relieved to see another guy.

[banikslaveboy]

"You're not eating the penguins, are you?" It was Fandom, you never knew. "Just the popcorn?"

[imissmydolphin]

"Just the popcorn. I'm not a big fan of eating sea animals."
